Answer 1

• Go to ~/.ssh
• Create a file named config(have no extension )

• Open config file & add below codes. (change according to your account)

  1. Account 1

     # account_1
     Host gitlab.com-account_1
     HostName gitlab.com
     User git
     PreferredAuthentications publickey
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_account_1
     

  2. Account 2

     # Account2
     Host gitlab.com-Account2
     HostName gitlab.com
     User git
     PreferredAuthentications publickey
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_Account2
     

  3. Account 3

     # Account_3
     Host github.com-Account3
     HostName github.com
     User git
     PreferredAuthentications publickey
     IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_Account_3
     

• Add remote url as follows

  1. Account 1

     git remote add origin git@gitlab.com-account_1:group_name/repo_name.git
     

  2. Account 2

     git remote add origin git@gitlab.com-Account2:group_name/repo_name.git
     

  3. Account 3

     git remote add origin github.com-Account3:github_username/repo_name.git
     

Make sure that IdentityFile names are same as you created during ssh key generation.
